Chapter 309 Scan the QR code to pay and seize the offline payment entrance!
September 3rd, 2pm.
A small stage of 20 square meters was built on the open space in front of Xuyuan Library, with a huge poster behind it.
"Xucheng College 2012 freshman meeting and admissions training meeting."
There are crowds of freshmen, lining up from the teaching building and laboratory to the library. It is noisy now, but there is no loud noise. However, thousands of people gathered together and whispering can still make a huge noise.
Tang Qingshan sat in the first row and whispered to Chen Yansen beside him, "You can go up after I finish speaking."
Chen Yansen looked around at the dozen or so deans of various departments and thought that by the time these people finished their chatter, it would probably be dark.
He did not object to Tang Qingshan's arrangement.
There was no benefit for him in giving a freshman speech. Tang Qingshan mentioned it several times and he refused several times. Finally, he reluctantly agreed.
After Tang Qingshan finished speaking, he walked onto the stage.
"Hello, new students of Class 2012! I am Tang Qingshan, the principal of Xucheng College!"
After Tang Qingshan stood still, he faced the more than 3,000 freshmen and finished his opening remarks with a smile.
The discussions in the audience disappeared completely in an instant.
On the one hand, they were intimidated by Tang Qingshan's identity, and on the other hand, the counselor was standing aside and watching.
No one wants to be criticized by the principal or counselor on the first day of school.
“In the golden month of September, we gather on the campus of Xucheng College to witness one of the most important moments in your lives.
On behalf of all the teachers, students and staff of the university, I extend my warmest welcome to the 3,491 new students from all over the world! Congratulations on your ten years of hard study and your opening of the door of Xucheng College with your wisdom and sweat!
The motto of Xucheng College is: Friendly, Erudite, Pragmatic, and Enterprising. As the president, I have three expectations that I would like to share with you: First, establish yourself through learning and be a truth-seeking and pragmatic light-seeker..."
Tang Qingshan took out the manuscript and read it with great emotion.
Perhaps because he had gained more than ten years of life experience, Chen Yansen listened with great interest.
Although Tang Qingshan's words are mostly empty words and clichés, his core idea is very clear, which is - to encourage learning.
University is the end of the college entrance examination and the starting point of life.
If you waste your time and spend four years in a daze, you will probably regret it in your dreams a few years later.
But in the eyes of young people, if they don’t have fun in college, is it still college?
Tang Qingshan spoke at a steady, powerful and infectious pace. After all, he often went out for meetings and his public speaking skills had been honed long ago.
Ten minutes later, Tang Qingshan concluded simply: "I hope that one day in the future, you will be the new pride of Xucheng College! Now, Chen Yansen, an outstanding student of Xucheng College, president of the Hui'an College Student Entrepreneurship Alliance, and founder of Senlian Capital, will share his learning and entrepreneurial experience with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was deafening applause from the audience.
Among this year's freshmen, both male and female, at least one-third use Orange phones, one-third have shopped on Pinbei, and one-third have tried Kuaipao food delivery, Kuaidi taxi and Yunsu express delivery services.
Most people have a desire to be strong, and Chen Yansen, who is 20 years old this year and has become a billionaire after only two years of entrepreneurship, is obviously one of the best.
"Wow! I heard this is the first time that Senior Chen Yansen has spoken at the freshman assembly."
“The freshmen of the class of 2011 don’t even have this kind of treatment!”
"I applied for the e-commerce major, and after graduation, I went to Pinbei to interview for an operations position."
"I'm studying software engineering. I heard that Orange Technology's treatment and benefits are better than those of Ali, Penguin, and Baidu. I must join my senior's company in the future."
There was a sudden buzz of discussion from the audience.
Chen Yansen stood leisurely in the center of the podium.
"Good afternoon, classmates! I'm Chen Yansen. Like everyone else, I'm an ordinary college student at Xuyuan. I like the handmade ramen in the third canteen, the pork chop rice in the second canteen, and I like taking a walk by the Willow Creek in the autumn. I also like sitting by the Pearl Lake with my beloved girl and enjoying the evening breeze."
Chen Yansen smiled faintly, his tone gentle and calm, just like a familiar friend chatting with him.
An ordinary college student from Xuyuan? Which student from Xuyuan dares to skip classes every day? Tang Qingshan frowned and smiled helplessly.
More than a dozen deans also smiled, especially the head of the School of Literature and Communication. If others didn't know, how could he not know? Chen Yansen, an 'ordinary' college student in the virtual college, had a zero attendance rate in every semester and every professional course.
If it were someone else, he would have been fired eight hundred years ago!
When a group of freshmen heard Chen Yansen say "sitting by the Pearl Lake and enjoying the evening breeze with my beloved girl", the boys smiled knowingly, with a glimmer of anticipation in their eyes.
When the girls heard this, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. It turned out that Chen Yansen already had someone he liked, so there was naturally no hope for them.
"Next, I will share three points of my personal learning and entrepreneurship experience. First, learning is not the ultimate goal. It is more important to master the learning methodology..."
Chen Yansen paused and continued.
Having lived two lives and started many businesses, he is far more experienced than his peers in establishing the direction of his life.
Five minutes later, Chen Yansen hurriedly finished his speech. It seemed a bit perfunctory, but there was also some useful information, such as: pay attention to recruitment software, and understand the employment environment, direction and skills of your major in advance.
In terms of entrepreneurship, his advice is: it is worthy of support and encouragement, but you have to choose the most suitable industry based on your own abilities, resources and actual situation, and start from the most familiar business model.
Do what you are familiar with, and don’t touch any business model that you don’t understand.
As for whether the people below listen or not, it’s none of his business!
"Teacher Tang, there is a weekly meeting at the company, so I have to excuse myself first." Chen Yansen returned to his seat and said in a low voice.
"Go ahead, thank you for your hard work." Tang Qingshan nodded in response.
Chen Yansen stood up, walked around the stage, followed the path on the north side of the library, crossed the Yixing Bridge, and went straight to the Entrepreneurship Park.
He parked his car here to make it easier for him to leave.
Then he sat in the driver's seat and sped towards Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.
He did not fool Tang Qingshan. Every Monday afternoon, he would hold a brief weekly meeting with senior managers of Orange Technology, Pinbei, Today Technology and Orange Payment to further understand the development status of each project.
The distance between Xuyuan and the Science and Technology Park is less than ten kilometers. After a while, Chen Yansen drove into the Science and Technology Park.
I looked up at the time and it was not yet three o'clock.
He walked into Building No. 9 and took the elevator to the office. Before the weekly meeting began, Chen Yansen specially called Zhang Yinjia over.
Since joining Orange Payment, the former general manager of Zhifubao's business intelligence department has developed a QR code payment function based on barcode payment and combined it with QR code technology under the guidance of Chen Yansen, which is ready to be released in Orange Payment version 2.1.
In addition, half a month ago, Orange Payment easily obtained the "Securities and Futures Business License" and "Consumer Finance License" by relying on its relationships with Huake, Huaxin and China Merchants in the financial circle.
In other words, Orange Pay is no longer just an electronic payment tool, but also a financial management tool.
This is of great significance to Orange Pay. It can expand recklessly with the help of channels such as Pinbei, Orange Mall, Yunsu Express, Kuaidi Taxi and Kuaipao, and obtain generous rewards by using the interest rate spread of fund agency sales.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Chen Yansen replied loudly.
Zhang Yinjia pushed the door open and walked in, pulled over a chair, and sat opposite Chen Yansen, looking like he was waiting for the boss to ask him questions.
"Has the internal testing of Orange Pay 2.1 been completed?" Chen Yansen asked casually.
"It will take another week. Mr. Huang has helped me coordinate. By then, users will be able to add a scanning payment method when paying via the PC side of Pinbei Mall."
Zhang Yinjia replied quickly.
"There are not many online usage scenarios for QR codes. Its biggest function should be to connect offline. For example, in Kuaipao's group purchase coupon verification process, merchants need to manually enter the group purchase coupon code, which is time-consuming and laborious. I will create a docking group later, and you and Kang Guodong will come up with a plan to embed QR code technology into the coupon verification module."
Chen Yansen leaned back and spoke slowly.
Although this problem is small, it greatly affects the user experience. Otherwise, once the merchant encounters a situation where orders explode, verifying the coupons will become a hassle.
Users are getting impatient waiting to check one by one.
If the merchant takes photos first and verifies the coupon later, it will cause a time difference in verification. Users who try to get a bargain may secretly ask for a refund after consumption.
"It's not difficult from a technical perspective," Zhang Yinjia answered confidently.
"The offline promotion work can be handed over to Kuaipao's sales staff. I have already said hello to Pei Yi." Chen Yansen added.
"Thank you, boss." Zhang Yinjia replied quickly.
Although QR code offline payment was introduced in 2012, it seemed ahead of its time, but in fact both the technology and equipment had already matured.
Moreover, Orange Pay is not a pioneer.
Two years ago, Zhifubao launched the barcode payment function, and a year ago, it launched the QR code payment function.
The only question is whether the CBRC will recognize its legality.
It is neither prohibited nor explicitly supported.
To put it bluntly, Orange Pay and Zhifubao are both crossing the river by feeling the stones!
However, Chen Yansen's approach is more radical than Ma Liyun's. When Ali was still promoting QR code payment on the PC side, he set his sights on the offline payment market.
At this time, WeChat Pay and WeChat red envelopes have not yet been launched.
Although Ma Wenteng saw the development potential of mobile Internet, he did not realize that scanning would become a powerful tool for online and offline communication.
Scanning QR code to pay will become one of the important measures in Sunlink Capital's O2O strategic layout.
"It's time for Orange Payment to move. Building 7 and Building 5 both have good layouts. You can pick one."
Chen Yansen said with a smile.
Today, Orange Pay has more than 600 employees, and together with Orange Technology, they are squeezed in Building No. 9, making the office environment a bit crowded.
"Then let's go to Building No. 7." Zhang Yinjia said after thinking for a while.
Chen Yansen nodded slightly, indicating that the administrative department and the financial department would help him communicate.
It was not until exactly three o'clock that the two walked out of the office and went to the conference room on the eighth floor together.
